During their teen years, many people are faced with the most annoying impurity —acne. Girls in high school, and some in their adult years, tend to feel like they have to wear makeup to hide their skin.

From the moment we wake up to when our heads hit our pillows at night, most of us take the capabilities we utilize throughout the day for granted.
